Spinning clothes-hanger

ABSTRACT

A spinning clothes-hanger which spins to help hastening drying of clothes comprises a shaft standing upright held in place through a shield having ball-bearing cartridge at both upper and lower ends where shield is mounted upright to a stand having at least three legs. A motor is installed at one end of the shaft and held in place by bars to the stand where upon turning on, motor drives shaft to spin freely about its axis. One or several circular or any geometric frames sharing same center mounted to bars extended from a body at the center where the body is fixed to another end of the shaft. Alternative holders are used in stead of stand to hold motor and shield for installing the spinning clothes-hanger from ceiling or against a wall. Spring or other mechanisms is alternatively used to spin the shaft.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention is a spinning clothes-hanger to help hastening the dryingof clothes in the area with limitation of space or in shade.

PRIOR ARTS

There has been invention of foldable clothes-lines to be used in an areawith limit space (U.S. Pat. No. 6,308,843 of De Boer). Normally,clothes-line or clothes-rails are designed to be of linear shape whereeither rope or rigid rails are used Yet none is equipped with additionaldevice for hastening the drying of washed clothes or with any betterdesigns. The objective of the present invention, a spinningclothes-hanger, which is a clothes-hanging frame of circular shape or ofany geometric shape is for hanging washed clothes to help hastening thedrying by spinning of the clothes, thus moving clothes against the airwhile hanging.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A spinning clothes-hanger for hanging clothes which spins to helphastening drying of clothes while hanging comprises a shaft standingupright inserted through a shield having ball-bearing cartridge at bothupper and lower ends where shield is mounted upright to a stand havingat least three legs. A motor is installed at one end of the shaft andheld in place by bars to stand where upon turning on, the motor drivesthe shaft to spin freely about its axis. One or several circles or anygeometric frames sharing same center mounted to bars extended from abody at the center where the body is mounted to another end of theshaft. Along the frame, there are teeth for hanging clothes. Alternativeholders are used in stead of stand to hold motor and shield forinstalling spinning clothes-hanger from ceiling or against a wall.Spring or gear or cog-wheel or any other mechanisms are alternativelyapplied to allow spinning of the shaft.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

FIG. 1 shows the present invention which is a spinning clothes-hanger 1made of metal or durable material having a central upright shaft 4 withits lower end mounted to a motor 3 where upon turning on, motor 3 drivesshaft 4 to spin about its axis. Motor 3 is mounted through metal bars 31to a stand 32 having at least three legs. Electric current is suppliedto motor 3 through electric cord 33 (FIG. 4).

FIG. 2 is a top view of spinning clothes-hanger 1 where frame 13, madeof metal or durable material, which is of single or multiple circularconstruction or any geometric frames sharing the same center. Along eachcircle there are teeth 6 standing upright or extending sidewise, atappropriate distances apart from each other for hanging the conventionalclothes-hanger. Clothes are hung to the conventional clothes-hanger andhung to teeth 6. At the center, a square body 5A with four bars 12 beingwelded out from each corner horizontally where clothe-hanging frames 13are to be mounted or welded to the bars.

FIG. 3 is a longitudinal section showing a cylindrical shield 7 havingball-bearing cartridges 2, one at its upper end and the other at itslower end to fix shaft 4 in a stable vertical position while allowingshaft 4 to spin freely about its axis. Cylindrical shield 7 is mountedto the upper end of stand 32 to be held in upright position. Motor 3 atthe lower end of shaft 4, when turned on, drives shaft 4 to rotate aboutits axis at the center of shield 7 where gears or cog-wheels may beapplied to adjust speed of spinning. Spring or any mechanisms which candrive shaft 4 to spin is alternatively applied to rotate shaft 4manually or automatically.

As of FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, when square body 5A of FIG. 2 is brought to befixed to element 5B of FIG. 3 which is at the top of shaft 4 throughbolts and nuts or by any other means to make installation of thehanger-frame to the top of shaft 4 to form a spinning clothes-hanger ofthe present invention as in FIG. 1.

FIG. 4 shows how conventional clothe-hangers are hung from teeth 6 andwhere upon turning on motor 3 by switching ‘ON’ manually orautomatically through a preset timer to allow flow of electric currentor winding the spring or turning on any mechanisms which drives theshaft 4 to spin about its axis, shaft 4 starts spinning to causerotation of the spinning clothe-hanging frames. This causes the clotheshung onto the clothe-hanging frame also spin thus move against the air,and shortening the time required for drying the clothes where mostlyneeds only half an hour to three hours to get all the clothes dried.

FIG. 5 shows, alternatively, the way the spinning clothes-hanger may beinstalled from the ceiling in a room using a different holder 8 to holdmotor 3 and shield 7 in place instead of stand 32.

FIG. 6 shows, alternatively, how the spinning clothes-hanger may beinstalled against a wall through holder 9 which is a holder of motor 3and shield 7 hanging from a bar made of metal or durable material fixedto a wall supported by another bar or any different designs to helpstrengthening or supporting hanging of spinning clothes-hanger of thepresent invention.

It will be understood that changes may be made within the scope of thisinvention by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from thespirit thereof. It is accordingly intended that all matter contained inthe above description be interpreted as illustrative rather than in alimiting sense.

It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended tocover all of the generic and specific features of the invention asdescribed herein, and all statements of the scope of the inventionwhich, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween.
